Still making it through the night!
One of the kids left the access gate open so our sheep are out in the main fields with their babies. A little sooner than I had planned but I know they will come in for the night if I grain them. AND we set out plenty of pineapple fruit that we gleaned off our pineapple stripping project. The big rams like them so I am guessing the momma's will too. Interesting the chickens are picking at them a little but with no gusto.
Our little Buster is so precious. He is out today following me around like a puppy. I walk, he walks. I sit, he finds shade and sits. He is beginning to nibble bits of grass as the other lambs are doing so I guess socializing him with them most of the time is a good thing. I imagine I will be bottle feeding him for quite a while yet. Leaving him with the othe sheep until dark, I don't have to go looking for him any more. I just bring my flashlight an call out and he comes running! It is so cool. And he loves to just snuggle in my lap, nuzzling my neck, sniffing at my lips an even licking my glasses. It's amazing what a little lamb can do for you!
I want to be the kind of woman that, when my feet
hit the floor each morning, the devil says
"Oh Crap, She's up!"
